Eminem

"Entertainment is changin', intertwinin' with gangsters In the land of the killers, a sinner's mind is a sanctum Holy or unholy, only have one homie Only this gun, lonely ‘cause don't anyone know me"

"They say music can alter moods and talk to you Well, can it load a gun up for you and cock it too? If it can, then the next time you assault a dude Just tell the judge that it was my fault, and I'll get sued"

"It's all political; if my music is literal and I'm a criminal, how the fuck can I raise a little girl? I couldn't, I wouldn't be fit to"

"Music is reflection of self We just explain it, and then we get our checks in the mail It's fucked up, ain't it? How we can come from practically nothing To being able to have any fucking thing that we wanted That's why we sing for these kids who don't have a thing Except for a dream and a fucking rap magazine Who post pin-up pictures on their walls all day long Idolize their favorite rappers and know all their songs Or for anybody whose ever been through shit in their lives So they just sit up and cry at night wishin' they'd die 'Til they throw on a rap record and they sit and they vibe We're nothing to you, but we're the fucking shit in their eyes That's why we seize the moment, try to freeze it and own it Squeeze it and hold it, 'cause we consider these minutes golden And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone Just let our spirits live on, through our lyrics that you hear in our songs!"

"I act like shit don't faze me Inside it drives me crazy My insecurities could eat me alive But then I see my baby Suddenly I'm not crazy It all makes sense when I look into her eyes"

"Sometimes you feel tired, feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up. But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength and just pull that shit out of you, and get that motivation to not give up and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse."

"Music is like magic: there's a certain feeling you get when you're real and you spit and people are feelin' your shit"

"My song can make you cry, take you by surprise At the same time, can make your dry your eyes with the same rhyme See what you're seeing is a genius at work Which to me isn't work, so it's easy to misinterpret it at first"

"Let the president answer a higher anarchy, strap him with an AK-47 Let him go fight his own war, let him impress daddy that way No more blood for oil We got our own battles to fight on our own soil"

"You find me offensive? I find you offensive, for finding me offensive"

"We're all we got in this world When it spins, when it swirls, when it whirls, when it twirls"

"But then of course everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never meant to be But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is"

"If you could count the skeletons in my closet, under my bed and up under my faucet Then you would know I've completely lost it Is he nuts? No he's insane!"

"Nobody asked for life to deal us with these bullshit hands we're dealt We gotta take these cards ourselves and flip 'em, don't expect no help"

"A lot of people ask me where the fuck I've been at the last few years? Shit, I don't know. But I do know I'm back now!"

"Turn Halloween back into a trick-or-treat holiday Have Michael Myers lookin' like a liar Swipe his powers, replace his knife with flowers and a stack of fliers Hit Jason Vorhees with a 40 Stuck a suppository up his ass and made him tell me a story Gave Hannibal Lector a fuckin' nectarine And sat him in the fuckin' fruit and vegetable section and gave him a lecture Walked up Elm Street with a fuckin' Wiffle bat drew Fought Freddy Krueger and Edward Scissorhands too"

"I told the world one day I would pay it back Say it on tape, lay it, so that one day I could play it back"

"Had a dream, I was king; I woke up, still king"

"It's too late to start over, this is the only thing I know"

"And any fan of mine who's a supporter of his [Trump] I'm drawing in the sand a line, you're either for or against And if you can't decide who you like more and you're split On who you should stand beside, I'll do it for it for you with this: Fuck you! The rest of America stand up! We love our military and we love our country, but we fucking hate Trump!"

"This time around it's different, them last two albums didn't count Encore I was on drugs, Relapse I was flushin' 'em out"

"When it rains, guess it pours—yes, it does Wish there wasn't any pain, but I can't pretend there ain't I ain't placin' any blame I ain't pointin' fingers, Heaven knows I've never been a saint"

"Like a 'Fuck You' for Christmas, his gift is a curse"

"I'd shoot for the moon, but I'm too busy gazing at stars"

"They call me Fire Marshall: I shut the shit down"

"Man, get these wack cocksuckers off stage! Where the fuck is Kanye when you need him? Snatch the mic from 'em—bitch, I'ma let you finish in a minute!"

"And love is evil ("evol"): spell it backwards, I'll show ya"

"I poured my heart out to you, let down my guard, swear to God I'll blow my brains in your lap, lay here and die in your arms Drop to my knees and I'm pleading, I'm trying to stop you from leaving"

"I fell for this so many times it's ridiculous And still I stick with this, I'm sick of this But in my sickness and addiction, you're addictive as they get Evil as they come, vindictive as they make 'em"

"Now get off my dick! Dick's too short of a word for my dick—get off my antidisestablishmentarianism, you prick!"

"Y'all are Eminem backwards: you're mini-mes"

"You don't get another chance, life is no Nintendo game"

"So spread the word 'cause I'm promoting my past until I'm passed out"

"All my life I was told and taught I am not shit By you wack fuckin' giant sacks of lyin' dog shit Now you shut up, bitch, I am talkin' Thought I was full of horseshit and now you fuckin' worship the ground on which I am walkin'"

"I'm beginning to feel like a Rap God, Rap God"

"Summa-lumma, dooma-lumma, you assumin' I'm a human What I gotta do to get it through to you I'm superhuman?"

"I make elevating music, you make elevator music"

"Ma, you're still beautiful to me, 'cause you're my mom"

"I'da flipped every mattress, every rock and desert cactus Owned a collection of maps and followed my kids to the edge of the atlas If someone ever moved 'em from me"

"They take your heart and steal your life And it's as though you feel you've died ‘Cause you've been killed inside But yet you're still alive Which means you will survive"

"It's true, I'm a Rubik's—a beautiful mess"

"I'm just a man, but as long as I got a mic, I'm godlike"

"Got my faith, where's yours? Do you still believe in me? Didn't I give everything I had to give you to make you see?"

"It's never too late to start a new beginning"

"This love triangle left us in a wreck, tangled [rectangle]"

"She does that thing with her lip, now she's melting me I'm putty in her palms, I'm wrapped around her finger A yo-yo on a string, she lets me sit there and just dangle Until something better comes along and she'll just drop me like a hot potato"

"Donald Duck's on, there's a Tonka Truck in the yard But dog, how the fuck is Ivanka Trump in the trunk of my car?"

"I'm packin' up my shit, as much shit in the car as I can fit And I'm just drivin' as far as I can get Away from these problems 'til all of my sorrows I forget What's tomorrow like? 'Cause tonight I'm startin' life again Get to the corner and stop, fuck am I goin'? Besides psycho when I fantasize startin' my whole life over"

"So finger-bang, chicken wang, w:MGK, Igg' Azae' Lil Pump, Lil Xan imitate Lil Wayne I should aim at everybody in the game, pick a name I'm fed up with bein' humble And rumor is I'm hungry, I'm sure you heard bumblings I heard you wanna rumble like an empty stomach I heard your mumblin' but it's jumbled in mumbo-jumbo The era that I'm from will pummel you, that's what it's comin' to What the fuck you're gonna do when you run into it? I'm gonna crumble you and I'll take a number two and dump on you If you ain't Joyner If you ain't Kendrick or Cole or Sean then you're a goner"

"These rappers are like Hunger Games: one minute, they're mockin' Jay (Mockingjay) Next minute, they get their style from Migos or they copy Drake"
